The new face of the Saab 9-5

Not loving it at all, it looks like martian influenced. Also, what happened to the little grills on each side of the main grill?

I like the sharper edges of the current Saabs. This, I don't like.

They are integrated with the headlaights.


Personally, I love it!    

[TBR]

Yeah, which is what makes the car look so weird.

[Catman]

I like it.  

[280Z Turbo]

Hmm...I like it, but I'm uneasy about liking it. It's a little too weird, even for Saab.

[Raghavan]

waaay too busy front end.

[Raza]

I like it, but not more than the current one.  

[mazda6er]

Well, it's certainly "fresh" looking. The whole grill, headlight thing is a bit wierd, but overall I think they pulled it off.

[Raza]

Better.

[giant_mtb]

I like it.    

[autom?vel]

Yeah, I agree with Raza.  Looks pretty badass to me, but it's hard to top what it's replacing.  I'd say it'll be one of those designs that grows on people and looks better in person.  

EDIT:  Actually, just looking at it again, I like it more.  Definitely quirky and unique, and that's a good thing.

[280Z Turbo]

Better.

A bit mundane, don't you think?

[Raghavan]

at least it builds on saab's quirkyness...

[850CSi]

I like it, but not more than the current one.

Ditto.



There is and always will be this part of me that wants a 9^3 or 9^5.

[ifcar]

Better.

I haven't found a picture that's done it justice yet.
